One or the Other

You can’t be all eyes and all ears
I can’t be all hope and all fear
Which is it now, which is it now, which is now
You can’t be all safe and all threat
I can’t be all give and all get
Which is it now, which is it now, which is now
I’ve been the servant, I’ve been the serpent
I’ve grown relations, I’ve grown impatient
I’ve died and come back
It’s all light and all black
It’s all forth and all back
It’s all light and all
You can’t be all stay and all roam
I can’t be all lost and all home
All flesh and all bone
All cream and all cone
All sand and all stone
All scream and all moan
All babe and all grown
Which is it now, which is it now, which is now
Which is it now, which is it now, which is now
I’ll be your woman, I’ll be your lemon
I’ll grow a child, I’ll grow so wild
I’ll die and come back
It’s all light and all black
It’s all forth and all back
It’s all light and all
